Commenting on the event, Donna Taberer, Chair of the RTS Futures committee, said: "Finding a way into the broadcasting industry is notoriously difficult. Traditional entry points have changed and it's not always easy to work out who is accepting applicants. The RTS Futures Entry Level Training Fair was launched in 2015 to provide those looking to get into television with valuable information about the companies which take on trainees, apprentices and interns. Following the success of this event, which saw over 400 candidates meet with leading companies from within the industry, we are delighted to see it return and welcome the participation of so many leading players."

The second annual RTS Futures Entry Level Training Fair takes place on Monday 25 January, between 4pm and 8pm, at Hallam Conference Centre, London. To book a place, or to find out more information, visit: www.rts.org.uk.
